PA Farm Roots and New Poll Reveal 2026 Voter Mood

(00:00:00) We visit Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market in Hellam, PA, where four generations have grown a family farm into a community hub. Co‑owner Julie Keene shares how the orchard began in 1951, why conservation is at the heart of their work, and how the family continues to preserve land, nurture local partnerships, and keep “Grandma Louise’s” welcoming spirit alive. (00:22:00) We break down the latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll with director Berwood Yost. He walks us through what Pennsylvania voters are feeling heading into 2026—from economic anxiety and views on the governor’s race to immigration, presidential approval, and trust in democracy. The March statewide survey of 834 registered voters shows a state divided on its direction, worried about the economy, and uncertain about what comes next.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
